A couple of the first things that come to mind when thinking of Joanne is her laugh and shopping. We had such fun on our visits and trips. So sorry she didn't have more time with her family after moving to the area. She will be missed.

So so sorry to hear of my dear friend's passing. She came through tough health challenges last year like a trooper and was absolutely loving her new home in Kenosha so close to her Grandson and family. I, along with my family, adored her, such a funny gal. She always had us laughing. She will be dearly missed. Love and prayers to the family.
